A legacy of innovation,
a blueprint for the future.
From our founding in 1985 to becoming a global, 100% employee-owned company, we’ve come a long way in our 40-year history.
Join us in celebrating Restek’s journey! Explore four decades of Restek’s story to see what makes this company so special. Hear from Head Coach Bill Arrowsmith on this exciting milestone, and read our letter of thanks from Restek’s employee-owners.
Our 40-year anniversary is more than a milestone. It’s a celebration of our legacy of quality, innovation, and community that brought us to where we are today and it will only continue and strengthen in the years ahead.
As an employee-owned company, people are at the heart of everything we do. And after 40 remarkable years, we have a lot of people to thank.
